No "Run as Administrator" option on right-clicking printer icon

Hi, I'm trying to set up custom paper sizes on a Dell 3110cn printer, and need to open "Printer Properties" as an administrator. I'm logged into Win 7 Home Premium (x64) as an administrator (the only account on the PC). When I right-click the printer
icon in Control Panel -> Harware and sound -> Devices and Printers, there is no "Run as Administrator" option. Can anyone please advise me how to get around this?
